Posts: 3802I Still Think You Should Retain An Attorney
Sounds like you are in an enviable position, and have disposable income as well. However as "trust worthy" as you think your Paisa friends might be, you really should have a Colombian lawyer who handles real estate transactions to guide you as it is not a straightforward process for a foreigner versus a citizen buying real estate, and you could be in for some very unpleasant surprises. As far as your motivation to live in Medellin full time, totally enviable as I mentioned and hat's off to you in preparing to do so.

Posts: 315I took an Antigen test within 3 days of my departure flight. It was 110 mil plus 13 mil for domicilio. A guy came to my apt at a predetermined time and swapped my nose and I got results within 6 hours and they guarantee results within 24 hours. Communication all done in Whatsapp and in Spanish. +57 (315) 467-7121. It's called Unidad Medica Centrolab.
Entering USA was easy, just make sure to have digital copy of test results as they check at Colombia airport and at any international transit stop. Never seen an almost empty customs/immigration line when I transited through Houston (btw wish all the Texans the best).

Posts: 472You seem smart and determined
But clearly you do not know about the Colombian squatters law. You have never had any rental problems in Medellin? I would never allow anyone to stay in my property if I was not Colombian. Don't fool yourself about friends in Colombia! In 4 years I have 2 friends from this Board and my current girlfriend, other than that, everyone I have ever met in Colombia has had a motive. The greatest concern about buying a property in Bello came from my girlfriend and the owner of the home that I was going to buy in Bello. Even the owner made me aware that everyone in the neighborhood pays a "Vacuna" a protection tariff to the local / neighborhood bosses. My girl quickly made me aware that she was afraid and did not know how much the Vacuna would be, especially being in a relationship with a Gringo. So good luck on obtaining property in Colombia. My only advice is make sure you have your legal ducks in a row! Pollo Negro is out!!

Posts: 3802Enough Photo's
Yikes is that peanut butter your using to dilate her with. Again, too much information, and I wasn't serious in my post about you taking photos and posting them, and I can't stop you, and when you actually get to put your Johnson in her, well it's questionable whether it might even fit, and if it does, she may yelp loudly, perhaps out of pleasure. LOL.

Posts: 315Thanks for the general advice. I'm not buying to invest, but to eventually live in Medellin. I don't think I'll need a lawyer since I do have some trustworthy paisa friends who live in Bello who can guide me on the ground when I return in a few months. I carry 2 passports (Panama & USA), so I can theoretically live all year in Colombia by maxing the 180 days on both passports. I would have to leave country 1-2 twice a year, which I plan to do anyways once I'm settled in Medellin full time. Those that asked why I'm buying if I'm not living there yet, why not! I have a network of good pros and non pros and I can look into renting it out. But I don't need the rental income, so I can keep the apt empty if I want to or maybe even let a non pro I've known for years stay on the free just to take care of it.
And I'm not even looking at gringo areas like Poblado or Laureles. Obrero / Niquia / Cabanas are the top 3 barrios on my list in Bello. Hot chicks just everywhere, even after all these years in MDE, girls in Bello just on a different level. Sabaneta in the south is also on my list. It's a nice and chill town and close to Envigado / Poblado as well. So it's either up north or down south for me.

Posts: 67Situation on ground
Thinking of a trip to Medellin. How is the situation currently, as far as Covid restriction etc? I am vaccinated so I'm OK traveling but just don't want to be bored with everything closed. Any info is appreciated.

Posts: 3802Best Place On The Planet To Monger Right Now
What you have described is a real "eye opener" as to how tough it is for guys in Europe who want to travel. In the USA you can come and go as you please, and Medellin is easily accessible from the USA with no quarantine requirements and only a PCR test for entry, and the majority of mongers do come from the USA versus Europe. If I had to guess I would say no more than 10%-15% of the foreign mongers in Medellin come from another Country besides the USA.

With Asia basically shuddered because of the quarantine requirements, where else can you go with so many mongering venues and options available, basically Medellin is wide open right now with no lockdowns albeit with some very limited nighttime curfew restrictions. And it's a total buyers market. So based on this, more and more guys are looking and coming to Medellin as evidenced by all the newcomers and their posts, albeit a lot of guys are also staying on the sidelines because of the Pandemic, and rightly so.
So in your case, your smart to come and stay a while having to go thru so much hassle to get to Medellin.
My only advice to you is to confirm that the airline your flying on will allow you to fly with only purchasing a one way ticket. I know for a fact in the USA from which I fly they confirm at least on COPA and Jetblue that you have a return ticket or that you have residency.

Posts: 590Depends on where and for what. Certainly you can find places that are cheap. They may or may not be in the best barrio or the best building. My advice is to avoid buildings that have mostly 3 or 4 bedroom places. What you'll likely get are placed where four chicos or chicas have rent the rooms in the place. Or where a large family. There may or may not be the type of people you want to live near. Certainly, Colombians can be super noisy. You pay for exclusivity and porteros and quiet (that said, even buildings like Blux can be very noisy). That said, you can get some nice places in Sabaneta and Itagui for a decent price with less likelihood of living with folks who are not similar to attitude or behavior.
On the other hand, take a look at the ridiculous selling prices in Poblado or even parts of Laureles. Over-valued IMO. Agree that you need to find someone to represent you who hides your "gringo" identity. So you don't get screwed on price.

Posts: 590As any of you know from reading my posts, I like to explore the barrios to some extent. Manrique, Aranjuez, Laureles, etc. But one place I usually do not go is Bello, let alone live there. I would only recommend someone with a lot of experience in Colombia as well as someone willing to take some risk and do homework on the neighborhoods. On and off for the past several years, parts of Bello have been very "hot" (meaning gangs, guns, drugs), with lots of flare-ups. I know some girls well who are from Bello and tell me to avoid, especially places like Paris. That said, there are rewards if you feel you can tolerate the risk. Back in the days when the Mansion had hot chicas, most of them seemed to be from Bello. And you can find very inexpensive rents in Bello. Also be sure you don't look like a fool in front of the locals. Bello is NOT part of Medellin. It is it's own separate city.

Posts: 978Taking videos can be dangerous.
In Centro the locals appear to hate the police. When the police make an arrest the locals surround them and record everything the police do (not the person being arrested). Even getting up into the police's faces. But I do not really remember that happening when there is a fight or something that happens between locals. There was a foreigner who started recording two locals fighting which is stupid in itself to have a phone out in a large group of 30+. During or after the fight the locals turned on him for making a recording. Locals surrounded him yelling and he nearly got into a fight but slipped away. He is a little scared of the immediate area of where it all happened for now.

Posts: 1643I Am Not An Anal Freak, If I Was I Would Own It, Jeje
For GF status I don't accept off-limits, in the long term. In the short term, I will work with you. Without getting into whole numbers (punny), 80% of the time anal it is the girls idea, not mine. I've had lots of fun with girls who won't. And more fun with chicas who will. Cat Girl is tiny, muscular and tight so I am going to take it slow and easy and start with just a pinky finger. I call her Cat Girl not just because she rocks a cat suit better than Michelle Pfieiffer, but she is very cat-like in real life. For one thing, she can sleep for 16 hours in a day as natural as your or I cross the street. When she says "ouch" then I gently pull back and slide back and forth and do small circular motions with my finger.
